Thanks...Not quite sure how to turn off pilot light but think I could
figure it out..How about relighting it? Do you do this like a pilot
light on a stove?

You depress and turn the valve to pilot. Then while holding it down,
light the pilot. Hold it for about a minute, till the thermocouple
gets hot, then release. It should stay lit. Then move the valve to on.
